LOS ANGELES – Director Stephen Frears has known graphic novelist Posy Simmonds long enough to forget exactly how they met, only that it was about three decades ago. For years, he had followed her quirky comic musings on rural English life, fame and the general discontent of writers in her popular British newspaper comic strip, “Tamara Drewe.” But adapting the comic into a film? That he never saw coming.
“It never crossed my mind that you could make a film with it until I got the script,” Frears said on a recent swing through Los Angeles on his way to Telluride and then the Toronto International Film Festival, where the film played. “Posy is such a brilliant woman. Everything about the story was coherent, so I found it very, very inspiring … actually liberating. Because it was what I call a cartoon, you could leave bits out – I loved that you didn’t have to do the boring things.” Read More
There is a moment in the film Tamara Drewe when the sultry Gemma Arterton wears a tight red top and a skimpy pair of hotpants. It’s a deeply provocative image that was used on the poster for the film in France.
Her new film project is as intriguing as Arterton herself. In the film, which is a celluloid version of Posy Simmonds’ cult cartoon novel, Arterton plays the eponymous lead, a girl who leaves rural Dorset to seek fame as a journalist, only to return to her childhood home when her mother dies.
Central to the plot is Drewe’s reinvention of herself. As a schoolgirl, she was a dowdy, almost ugly, girl with a huge nose. Arterton had to wear a prosthetic nose and greasy hair. Her return as a beautiful femme fatale was as unexpected as it was electrifying, but through flashbacks we learn that the catalyst for her transformation from caterpillar to butterfly was a nose job that transformed her looks and bolstered her confidence.
